New England Rev. vs Columbus Crew Match Prediction

By Bharath Ramm R

New England Revolution’s impressive win over Toronto may not come as a surprise, as Brad Friedel has made his team tough to beat at the Gillette stadium. Columbus Crew, though, have been one of the early pacesetters in the Eastern Conference. Gregg Berhalter’s men are only four points behind Atlanta, who have picked up more points than any other team so far. Columbus Crew may have picked up three wins in the last five games against New England, but it is difficult to back the visitors with New England on good home form. A draw seems a more appropriate result and it was the outcome in the earlier meeting between the two clubs back in April.

Gyasi Zardes has an outstanding record against New England after failing to score in just two of the six appearances against this club. He has also been able to return an impressive tally of five goals in these six matches. Zardes is among the early top scorers in the MLS 2018 campaign with eight league goals and I would back him to score anytime in the match.

Draw – 5/2

Gyasi Zardes to score anytime – 6/4
